Hitch Recommendation for a 2006 Toyota Camry
Question:
I have a 2006 Toyota Camry. Is there a hitch available with a 2x2inch receiver for this vehicle? The accessories I have are for a 2x2inch receiver and I did not want to have to use the 2x2inch to 1.25x1.25inch adapter. Thanks,

For your 2006 Toyota Camry there are only 1-1/4 inch hitches available like the Draw Tite part # 36336. The 2 inch hitch size is reserved for larger vehicles like trucks and SUVs. Since hitch adapter cut the capacity of the hitch they are used on in half that would not be an ideal solution. Instead I would recommend you go with accessories designed for the 1-1/4 inch hitch.
The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Thule Camber 2 Bike Rack # TH9058. We asked our demo and install guys to name their favorite, most easy-to-use bike racks and this one showed up in nearly everyone's top three. Check out the review video I attached for more info.
If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
